How well do you remember your first bicycle?
Whether you are old enough to have owned the iconic Raleigh Chopper, went straight into BMXing or inherited a hand-me-down off-roader, the sense of achievement and freedom that comes with owning your first bike is the same, and leaves a memory that lasts into adulthood.
Looking back further still, few can remember the very first time they turned the pedals of a toddler’s trike, but the American company, High Roller, aims to help people try.
The High Roller pedal trike sports a 26-inch front wheel, 14-inch plastic rear wheels for power slides and drifting, and the obligatory handlebar-end tassels.
The fully-adjustable and cushioned seat can accommodate riders up to 6’6” tall and 19 stone.
Cycle insurance – trikes and custom builds welcome
Adult-sized pedal trikes are not only aimed at thrill seekers. Many older or physically impaired cyclists use pedal and hand-operated trikes to maintain their independence and health. If you ride something a little out of the ordinary, getting insurance cover should be no more difficult than any other bike. Electric bikes, pedelecs, e-bikes, folders, hand-operated trikes and custom builds are considered no differently to conventional bicycles. Every policy is equivalent to the fully-comp cover that a motorist would expect on their car; it includes as standard: new-for-old replacement; accidental damage; bicycle hire; bicycle breakdown recovery; European and Worldwide cover and legal assistance.
